Frequently asked questions

What the archived source data means—and what it does not mean.

Are these current NBA ratings or rosters?

No. The archive ends with the 2021–22 NBA season. Players who entered the league later may be absent, and older values must not be read as current ability.

Which parts come from third parties?

Approved textual identities and limited biographical facts come from pinned Wikidata records. Historical performance inputs come from a pinned FiveThirtyEight RAPTOR snapshot. Join identifiers used to reconcile records remain internal and are not display fields.

Which parts does Build A Hooper create?

DNA contribution bands, fit, strengths, trade-offs, archetype labels, and game mappings are original, versioned editorial assessments. They are not official measurements or professional scouting conclusions.

Is the fictional season a prediction?

No. Season ranges, scenario calls, and outcome labels are fictional entertainment simulation output with deliberately wide variance. They do not predict real players, teams, games, or seasons.

Is Build A Hooper affiliated with the NBA or its teams?

No. Build A Hooper is independent and unofficial and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by the NBA, any NBA team, any player, FiveThirtyEight, Wikidata, or the Wikimedia Foundation.

How can I request a correction or raise a rights concern?
